ESF Pilot Campus Program

ESF PRE-COLLEGE SUMMER PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION >> Apply here before November 14. Hear from the students who participated in the pilot program: My law course was both exciting and informative, but the thing I loved most at camp was spending time with friends I made there. Some were from San Diego, some Ohio, and one was from Taiwan, but all of the people I met were kind, smart individuals that I clicked with instantly. It was also very refreshing to meet likeminded kids that care about school and academics, which, as much as I love Bishop, is a hard thing to find here. It was the experience of a lifetime and I will forever be grateful for your support.

That, you math whizzes out there, is improvement by a factor of three!
